ZERO‑PLASTIC PACKAGING
No Plastic. No Levies. No Compromise
— ASKT’s Zero‑Plastic Paper Packaging Shields Your Chairs and Your Margins
BURDENDED WITH HIGH ANNUAL
PLASTIC TAX?
The EU already charges €0.80 for every kilogram of non‑recycled plastic packaging, generating €7.2 billion in 2023—and member states are passing that cost straight to importers.
National levies stack on top: the UK’s Plastic Packaging Tax jumps to £223.69 per tonne in April 2025, while Spain adds €0.45 per kg, rapidly inflating your yearly compliance bill.
WHAT CAN
ASKT DO?
01
Lower unit costs
Paper honeycomb and kraft tape cut average packaging spend by ≈ 15 % and shave freight weight.
02
Faster customs clearance
Shipments sail through EU ports up to 30 % quicker because no single‑use‑plastic declarations are required.
03
Future‑proof compliance
Our material design already meets the 2030 recyclability mandate in the new Packaging Waste Regulation.
04
Stronger brand story
Certified plastic‑free packs give retailers and end‑consumers a tangible sustainability win to promote.
ASKT’S SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING MATERIALS
ASKT fuses breathable bamboo‑fiber sleeves, shock‑absorbing honeycomb‑kraft bags, and starch‑bonded paper tape into one robust, fully biodegradable packaging system. Together, this all‑paper trio shields every chair, meets EU recyclability targets, and wipes out plastic‑tax liabilities—no performance trade‑offs required.
Biodegradable
Bamboo‑Fiber Non‑woven Fabric
• Spun‑laced from rapidly renewable bamboo, free of pesticides and naturally antimicrobial.
• Breathable yet tear‑resistant; lab tests show bamboo fibre’s high rigidity and temperature stability.
Biodegradable
Honeycomb Kraft Paper Bags
• Hexagonal paper core multiplies compressive strength up to 100× versus flat board, delivering top‑tier cushioning with minimal material.
• Made entirely from recycled kraft; curb‑side recyclable and fully biodegradable.
• Lightweight, space‑saving rolls cut freight volumes.
Biodegradable
Non-Laminated Paper Tape
• Un‑coated kraft backing with starch‑based or plant‑derived adhesive—no polypropylene, no silicone release liner.
• One strip delivers a tamper‑evident, fibre‑tear seal that recycles with the carton.
